SEARCH AND EMPLOY - A New Hip-Hop Revolution??

SEARCH & EMPLOY.Photocopies were posted all over Guy R. Brewer Avenue, along the Rochdale Village strip a couple of days ago.

SEARCH & EMPLOY- Support change in local hip hop and urban music- Support local talent and originality- Hear the music before the media gimmicks- Take control over the course of your culture

A change in local hip hop and urban music? Take control? The Southside has birthed many rap and hip hop artists (ie: 50 Cent). We're about change, especially if it has a positive impact. If Search & Employ are spearheading a movement, then this is worth investigating.

Now, each artist has a myspace page and is featured at www.myspace.com/searchemploy. Maom, Raw Stalin, Snatch, Juggah, and Choyce will be showcased at the nightclub Ambiance on Thursday, October 4th (133-18 Guy R. Brewer Blvd). More to come. In the meantime, check out the artists myspace pages.

Queens bloggers have been overshadowed by their colleagues in Brooklyn. We attempt to remedy the oversight with Meg Cotner of OuterB and Joey in Astoria, Kel Sawyer of The Progressive Southside, and Steve Tiszenkel of Queens Central.

[about us]

A photographic journey of observations, development, and the community happenings of residential South Jamaica and Baisley Pond. This neighborhood SO south of Jamaica Queens is not devoid of hype. Well-kept homes with manicured lawns on tree-lined streets have been eclipsed, thanks to the hip-hop culture and negative press that only focuses on drugs and crime. There are upwardly mobile, hard working residents here with purpose and wealth who reside here. New businesses, new neighbors and dreams are planted weekly. This blog will attempt to highlight them all. This is the REAL Southside.If you are a resident of South Jamaica or Baisley Pond Park, we welcome you to help us tell the progressive story in words and pictures.
